In an empty classroom, Marcel sat at the last row of the seats, staring out the window, lost in thoughts. He was unaware when Lily entered, grabbed a chair and sat beside him.She gently tapped on his shoulder making him break free from his thoughts.
"Why did you leave?" Lily asked softly.
"Nothing, I just wanna be alone." Marcel replied, looked outside the window once more.
"Was it because of her?" Lilly asked again.
"Who?" Marcel asked.
"Will stop answering a question with a question." Lily said slightly annoyed.
"Yeah, it's her." He answered truthfully this time feeling a sad.
"Its okay you just have to talk to her, okay ." Lily added while holding his hand.
"Are you sure." He asked nervously while trying to wipe his hands that were slightly damp with sweat.
"Yeah." Lily answered honestly.
"cause I really like her." Marcel added.
"Just tell her how you feel." Lily said with warm smile.
"But what if she doesn't like me back, what am going to do? will I lose her as a friend? what if she hates me after that? what if-" Lily interrupted him as he was panicking, looked into his eyes and said "It would be fine, just trust me, okay."
He nodded and said to Lily "Thank you."
"It's okay." Lily said
"C'mon, we gonna be late for class."Lily said, stood up, patted his shoulder and made her way towards the door.
she opened the door and went out with Marcel, they walked down the hallway and saw a furious Beatrix glaring at them from afar, if looks could kill they could have died. She walked agresssively to where they were, due to her chubbiness, Her cheeks were all puffed and red in anger.
"You guy left me! I was busy looking all over for you guys!" Beatrix said in shrill voice.
"Actually we had a thing, but now its solved." Lily explained and Pushed Marcel to the front and whispered into his ear.
"Umm, Marcel has something to tell you." She grinned.
"No I don't!" Marcel said in defiance.
"Yes! you do." Lily said as she gritted her teeth and widen her eyes at him.
"So, what do you want to tell me?" Beatrix asked, because she had no idea of what Marcel wanted to tell her.
"U mm, I-I j-just wanted to say that." He said as he gulp nervously as wiped his damp hands.
"How about I give you guys some space." Lily said and went into the class.
"So, say it." Beatrix said.
"Yeah, I just wanted to say that I really li-" Suddenly, He was interrupted by some one who appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey, chubs!" Some one shouted, the two of them traced where the voice was coming from, they realized the voice belonged to a guy who was well known in the school, it was Liam. He strode towards them with his long legs went to Beatrix side, pinched her chubby cheek and said " Hey."
He greeted her with a warm smile which revealed his white teeth.
"Don't touch me!" Beatrix said, slapped his hand away and glared at him.
"Oh my, is chubs angry?" He teased as he tilted his head.
"Hmph!" She exclaimed.
Instead of him to stop he kept teasing more, this time he rubbed her two cheeks on his palms.
"Will you quit teasing me!" She shouted and started to hit him with her textbook.
"Ah! Are are you trying to kill me!" He groaned in pain and wondered why she had hitted him so hard.
" oh, I would have done that before if I could! Now quit teasing me! you aasshole!" She shouted as her face turned red in anger and her cheeks all puffed up.
While Marcel on the otherside felt left out, he was so furious that Liam had ruined his confession to beatrix. As the two of them were bickering he felt he was a third wheel, He moved forward and confronted Liam
"Hey, who do you think you are? Why are you bullying my friend." He asked confidently, while inside he was so nervous that his heart was beating so fast because Liam was more taller and muscular than he is and he has a fat chance of being beaten up by him. But that didnt stop him because he Wanted to protected the girl he liked.
"Oh am Liam pleased to meet you." He replied sarcastically and smirked.
"You haven't answered my question!" Marcel asked again.
"You aren't supposed to interfare between she and i, its none of your business." He replied coldly.
He glanced Beatrix and his eyes became warm and said " see you later Chubs!". He quickly made his way to his class, waved and smiled at Beatrix.
When Liam left, Marcel felt bad because that unfortunate soul named Liam has ruined his chance of telling Beatrix about how he feels about her.
Beatrix also felt bad and she quickly apologize "Am really sorry about rhat asshole, he always acts like a dick, just ignore him. So what do you wanted to say."
"Oh that , I just wanted to tell you that Martha asked me to collect her notes from you".He said.
"U mm Notes, she didnt give me any note". She said with a frown.
"Did I say note? I meant her gym t-shirt, hehe." He replied and laughed nervously.He wanted to tell her before but he had lost all the courage he had gathered when he was interrupted by that lunatic.
"Marcel, you want to tell me something important, come on you can tell me anything". She asked softly.She felt that he had something important he wanted to tell her with the Way he was hesitating.
"No I dont". He replied feeling a little sad seeing how all the courage he had put together has vanished.
"Really, 'Cause Lily said so but if there isn't, I guess I will leave, see ya!".She said with small smile and waved to him.
When she left he felt so dejected and he encouraged himself that he would try his luck again.
